Caring costs: Carers Rights day
Caring Costs in so many ways. It could be the cost to unpaid carers’ wellbeing and ability to access health services. Sometimes it’s the financial costs associated with looking after someone – or the effects on carers’ employment options.
Taking care of someone may cost carers the quality of their relationships through not being able to take time out to spend with friends and family or through changes to the relationship with those they care for.
And the current cost of living crisis is being felt even more acutely by carers throughout the UK.
